Festina Lente Equine Research

Continuous learning at an individual, team and organisational level is a large part of the core ethos at Festina Lente.

Staff contributions to our foundation is fundamental, not only to the success of our foundation and our strive for professional and moral excellence but also the global communication of the benefits and learning’s of equine based education and therapies and excellent equine welfare best practices based on equitation science and studies.

All management and staff in our equestrian centre are actively encouraged to continuously educate themselves and others in a variety of ways. Attending conferences, internal and external training courses and carrying out evaluation and research studies are just some of the ways in how we achieve this.

HETI Congress 2015

Seven Festina Lente staff were the Irish delegation at the HETI Congress in Taiwan in June 2015 and presented a number of our research projects. The goal of the HETI Congress is to provide a platform for high quality research in the field of Equine Facilitated Education and Therapy in order to be able to provide evidence for governments, insurance companies, donors etc.
